The first novel from the Hugo Award-winning author of 'Folding
Beijing', translated by Ken Liu. Can the void between two worlds be
bridged? AD2201. Just over a century ago, the Martian colonies
declared their independence. After a brief conflict, Earth and Mars
cut ties, carving separate trajectories into the future, viewing
each other with suspicion and even hatred. Five years ago, a group
of Martian students were sent to Earth as goodwill ambassadors from
the Red Planet. Now the young men and women are coming home,
escorting a delegation of prominent Terrans to see if the two
worlds can bridge the void that has opened up between them. Almost
immediately, negotiations break down and old enmities erupt. How do
you escape the gravity of the past? Luoying, one of the returning
Martians, is caught amidst the political intrigue and philosophical
warfare. Martians and Terrans, old friends and new mentors,
statesmen and revolutionaries - everything and everyone challenges
her, pushing her to declare her allegiance. Torn between her native
land and the world on which she came of age, Luoying must discover
the truth amid a web of lies spun by both sides, she must chart a
course between history and the future, or face the destruction of
everything she's ever loved.
